The northern coastline around St Ives is a destination-must for all love-birds. The B3306 road traces a winding route along the coast from St Ives to St Just and in 2008 was named one of the most romantic spots in Britain as it offers glorious views out to sea, particularly as the sun sets. Sit on the rocks and watch the sun go down in nearby Zennor or huddle together on the beach at St Ives and enjoy the tranquillity of one of the country's most idyllic spots minus the hoards of high-season tourists! Standing high above the sea with nothing between you and America, this area of Cornwall offers the best views in the world and is the perfect setting for a romantic proposal!

Cambridge is a city that is not only home to one of the oldest universities in the world but is also a place that is culturally rich and has a lot to offer as a dating destination for young singles hoping to impress. From a visit to the museum to a walk by the river, to enjoying the gourmet meals at some of the best restaurants to exploring quaint villages, this place has it all, great culture, history entwined with modern style and relevance. You could even get out and explore the various tourist attractions nearby such as the Ely cathedral, the home of Oliver Cromwell, the Audley End House, the town of Saffron Walden and the gardens. Also the city of Cambridge isnt actually that far from London so you could consider taking your date to both places if you are in the area for several days?

Next to New York and Paris, London offers almost certainly the best shopping experience of any city in the world. Certainly, visitors to the capital are often overwhelmed by the utter range of goods obtainable. For major international and British Brands, Londons major shopping areas tend to centre around Oxford Street and Regent Street, while Knightsbridge is home to stores stocking even additional upmarket goods. Anyone looking for specialist items should head to Covent Garden, whilst those with severe money to spend descend towards New Bond Street home to some of Britains most fashionable shops.

Combine a thousand years of history with contemporary shopping and dining in the beautiful town of Windsor, on the River Thames. Stroll around the impossibly romantic Castle and the ancient Windsor Great Park which covers 4,800 acres and is shrouded in mystery and legend. When foot-sore take an enclosed horse-drawn hackney carriage ride from outside the Castle walls and tour through Windsor and down the Long Walk to Home Park, or further afield to the Great Park, via the deer park. In the afternoon why not visit the famous Savill Gardens, situated within the Great Park, which is considered to be the finest gardens of its type in the northern temperate region of the world. There are wonderful displays of colour all year round with the misty vistas of winter giving way to the beginnings of spectacular spring plants from February onwards.
